We advise you to wear winter clothes, especially hiking boots or warm comfortable shoes with rubber soles and treads. Safety is our number 1 priority, so the route and itinerary scheduled may be changed due to snow depth, road conditions, construction projects and detours.

Note: The Giant Sequoias hike on the Yosemite Tour is completely dependent on snow levels and trail conditions from October to April.

Our Winter tour in Yosemite is a great way to see the wonderful sights from Yosemite Valley when the snow falls. Yosemite in the Winter is the best way to get the most out of Yosemite. Yosemite National Park is opened every day of the year, and this tour will let you explore Yosemite Valley during the beautiful winter snow season. Just imagine Yosemite Valley exposed in soft white snow. In the Yosemite Winter Tour our standard itinerary stops at El Capitan, Half-Dome, Yosemite Falls, Bridalveil Falls, Inspiration Point (aka Tunnel View), and at the Yosemite Lodge for a hot meal to warm you up for the rest of the journey.

If the weather has anything to do with it, the Giant Sequoias grove hike may not be open to the public, but do not worry! The afternoon will then allow us to spend even more time to take longer walks in the Valley, test your photography skills on the waterfalls and other wonderful Yosemite winter sights to take them postcard-like pictures, or stay indoors and shop for souvenirs to remind you of your wonderful trip with us! Some might even go to the museums, and restaurants in the Village. If you've only been there in the dry seasons, then this will be a completely new way to see Yosemite, and an unforgettable experience. Only a small majority of Yosemite visitors come here during the winter, so you might feel like you have the Valley to yourself! So why not come and join us on this once-in-a-lifetime Yosemite National Park tour.

(Weather, safety, traffic, or construction conditions may require a change in itinerary on any given day.)
